Servings 26
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup brown sugar 200 grams
- 1 cup granulated sugar 185 grams
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 teaspoon corn syrup
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter melted (114 grams)
- 1 ½ cup peanut butter 380 grams
- 4 ½ cups rolled oats 360 grams
- ½ cup unbleached all purpose flour 65 grams
- ¾ cup chocolate chips -- Use more if desired
- ¾ peanut butterscotch chips optional -- Use more if desired
- ¾ cup mini M&Ms I used the M&M baking bits
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line two or three baking sheets with parchment or nonstick foil.
- In a mixing bowl, stir or whisk together the eggs, sugars, vanilla, corn syrup, baking soda and salt. Stir in melted butter and peanut butter, followed by oats and flour.
- Stir in all the chips and candy. Let dough rest for 30 minutes.
- Drop the dough by ¼ cupfuls onto baking sheets. Use fingers to flatten the cookies slightly, then bake them for 12 minutes or until they're a light golden brown. Remove from the oven and cool on a rack.
- Makes 26 large cookies
Notes
For crunchier cookies, try baking at 325 for 18 to 20 minutes or use a recipe that doesn't call for flour. The flour tends to make Monsters a little chewier.
